About me

I am an entomologist and a myrmecologist. I use different ant species to answer questions that fascinate me. I have interest in classic behavioral ecology of ants, and currently I am studying basic biology of pest ants with aim to develop management strategies.
​I am a BARD, TAU President, and USDA funded postdoctoral fellow (2020-2023).

​I am also a strong proponent for inclusion in science. Please be in touch!
